Coming Out of the Dark!

Finally, we have electricity again!! We managed fine camping in our house. We used our propane camp stove and borrowed oil lamps from grandma and grandpa as well as stored some food in their freezer and used their washer and dryer and bath tub (thanks grandma and grandpa!!). Since we live in the city, we had water and our water heater is gas, so we had hot water (very important)! Still, it's great to be back on! Of course it could have been worse. This link shows pictures of damage from Ike that's much worse that our few days in the dark!!
